A very good choice. ;-)
But but but, what *is* the advantage of one over the other? I've been a
PhpMailer devotee for some time. PEAR::Mail is too spare, PhpMailer is
reasonably quick and has proven quite stable (I've built a couple
newsletter apps using it). What's the advantage of Richard's package
vs. the Pear one (on which he is a lead dev) vs. PhpMailer?
Mind me for another opinion. I am not the right person to compare those
packages because I do not use them. I use a MIME message class for many
years that provides special resources for optimizing deliveries to many
recipients like for instance newsletters.
Optimizing deliveries depend on the method that you use to deliver the
messages. This package provides several different delivery methods that
are implemented by different sub-classes in the package: mail(),
sendmail, qmail, SMTP, Windows pickup folder.
You can tell the class to optimize the queueing of the messages for many
recipients just by calling the function SetBulkMail(). Then whatever is
the sub-class of the delivery method that you use, it will set its mode
of operation to minimize the time that your script has to wait to queue
all the messages to your recipients.
Furthermore, if your message body are the same for all the newsletter
recipients, the class can cache the message body so it will not waste
time rebuilding the message to all users.
All these techniques provide huge speedup. I use this package for many
years. Currently it is used to send about 3.5 million newsletters a
month and I can tell you that it is very fast queuing around 30 messages
per second in a qmail based setup, all done in pure PHP code.
